(at 39 min) Tom's story of his own birth, and experiencing liberation from a traumatic event many, many years later (50 min) a look into Tom's 1-on-1 work as a bodywork practitioner (this was of particular interest to me) even a PG-13 Robin William's joke you can tell at your next cocktail party (at 35 min, 20 sec) SHOW NOTES Anatomy Trains, Tom's main website In vivo videos from French hand surgeon Jean-Claude Guimberteau Sign up for the Fascial Dissection Lab for Feb 2018
